Since SolarWorld Americas has also had problems previously and the market is becoming more difficult under the new US president, it remains questionable just how the company intends to develop in the difficult situation.Comment

Unless a solar panel manufacturer had major utility sized projects lined up, I would think they would be hard pressed to keep making a profit, especially if other companies charge less for their panels.Comment

Well see. But if you own SP stock, or any solar manufacture stock, I would dump it like a hot potato and let some other sucker hold the empty bag. Better to sell now to minimize the losses than get caught going to worthless paper. The solar bubble has busted. All the money to be made has already been made.Comment

Bought everything cheap in a relative sense.10,000 sh S.P.@ ~ $4.50/sh. dollar cost average 08/2012 - 11/2012 along w/ 1,000 sh. TSLA @ ~ $23.50/sh. dollar cost ave. Both issues bought on an unexpected pension buyout from prior employer and considered found money I wasn't expecting. Sold 1,000 sh. S.P. 11/2013 to pay off the array and roof repairs @ $33.50/sh. Thus, S.P. stock appreciation paid for my S.P. array before tax credit, roof repair and then some. Bailed on the other 9,000 sh. S.P. ~ 12/2015, ~ $26.50/sh. dollar cost average. I should have sold the last 9,000 sh. sooner, but still did OK. I chickened out and bailed on the TSLA @ ~ $158/sh. 01/2014 thinking the party was over for that outfit. Should've held on. All was initially rolled/swapped into my Roth IRA and held >12 months. Appreciation, except for the first 1,000 sh. of S.P. stayed in the Roth. Because of age, I could withdraw assets from the Roth tax free.Last edited by J.P.M.; 05-19-2017, 02:07 AM.Comment

It is a shame our schools do not teach us as children that even a Blue Collar worker that invest 10% of their gross income can retire wealthy by age 50. Not really hard to do and only requires two things. Discipline and Living Below Your Means. Instead our schools teach the exact opposite of no consequences for your actions and use plastic money until you are insolvent and bankrupt. Only way to learn it today is either through your parents and private schools. All it takes is the Discipline to save 10% of your gross earnings and Live Below Your Means. If you want to be in the top 10% is even fairly easy and only requires one more step called Motivation and/or Drive.
